Rockstar has already set its sights on their next project once that small game known as Grand Theft Auto IV is released at the end of April.
Sources close to Rockstar are hinting that the developer is currently working on a new Max Payne title that will release in 2009 on the 360 and PS3. The release is expect to be simultaneous with the Hollywood debut of the Max Payne movie. After a conference call to its investors revealed that Rockstar would be working on a major sequel after the release of Grand Theft Auto IV, this rumor of a new Max Payne game has surfaced.
The original Max Payne games drew a lot of attention to its dark, adult themes, as well as the incorporation of "bullet time" for the first time in a game eventually leading to many spin-offs of the same technology. Although Max Payne is the front runner for this new sequel, other games in Rockstar's library that could be receiving a sequel include Bully and Manhunt.
The Max Payne movie began production earlier this year and already has signed on Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis for two of the primary roles in the movie. The movie along with the game are working toward a release date in 2009.

There are actually TWO Sony exclusives in the works and this is neither of them. The one set in the 20s is called LA Noir, and the other Sony exclusive is untitled but is promised to push new boundaries in gaming the same way GTA III did several years ago.
@Stickemup
Neither of Rockstar's exclusives are that way because they don't fit on DVD (although I'm sure they won't), they are exclusive because of the relationship between Sony and Rockstar... both companies have made eachother a TON of money with the GTA series so Rockstar will continue to support Sony, since Sony supported them during the PS2 era. -

I sure hope that Rockstar is making Max Payne 3. I simply LOVED the first Max Payne and Max Payne 2. Max Payne 2 has some framerate issues or something because the gameplay would slow down during certain times and it really annoyed me.
If it's Max Payne 3, it would really be a big hit. However, most games that are based on movies tend to end up not being so good, but I'm certain that Rockstar wont fall into that trap. Rockstar knows better than to fall into that category and of course, Rockstar has a reputation to keep, so they WON'T let that happen.

You guys are thinking of L.A. Noire, if EA acquires Take Two, nothing will be PS3 exclusive.

Hey French, actually when I heard of that title, they had said it was going to be exclusive because of it's size. And if they are buddies with Sony why does GTA4 have more content on the 360? Why didn't they just make that an exlcusive, and make the other games multi-platform. That would have made the PS3 the console to own. We wouldn't even have a battle going on.

@Xspike, Thomas Jane (punisher) would not suit Max Payne atall, take a closer look at Mark Wahlberg, i think this movie could be a hit, IF the moneys right!

i hope it is max payne 3, the first two games were awesome, and as for it coming out with the movie, i don't normally rate games for movies but i have faith in rockstar, they rarely put out sub-par games, that is if EA don't take over. then we're all in for an exciting advertisement driven future!
